Thanks! Had a few more changes since, need to get a update on here. Had her out over the last few weeks and still rides great. Running Kenda small block 8 tyres which are quick! It’s one of 3 Ritchey framed Rockhoppers we have!

Cheers Loungekabouter! That's a cool quote from a Yeti fan! How's the ARC builds going? Picked up some more aggressive tyres for the Yeti, some Mavic Roam XL's but they're black and not skinwall so will see how they look!

Re: The nickel one does look great. Bizarrely the red single speed is the one everyone comments about when out and about. I defiantly think you should keep the original paint, be nice to see how you finish it off!

Re: Yeti ASR-SL Dream-build 08 - updated Thanks for the words guys and apologies for the lack of updates, been a busy year with a wedding to plan! Few recent updates. After about 6 months and no proper rides I finally got the brake cables shortened by my LBS. Also purchased a new Fabric Radius...

These are great frames! I have 3 in different forms and love them all! Good luck with the build.

Love the look of those forks!!! Looking forward to seeing it finished!!

Re: Stunning as usual! Really like the parts mix, goes together really well. Bet the rides is amazing!!

Re: ** Ibis Tranny29 - rigid ENVE ** Christmas has come early!!!! :lol: :lol:

Re: ** Ibis Tranny29 ** Sounds like a good compromise with the CK and Enve parts. Really looking forward to seeing it finished, as with all your builds it's going to be cool!!!

Re: ** Ibis Tranny29 ** That colour is amazing. Really unusual! No chance of any shocks on the front?

Re: 1990 Yeti Ultimate build. Great build. Stem looks great IMO :)

Great find. Not sure what it is about the Trek Y's but always liked them! Looking forward to seeing it finished.

Keep 100%

Re: Build 3....Yeti ASR-SL! Now built! Picture heavy! So since the last post, I'm happy to say the final few parts arrived! Settled for a XT 11 speed gear set up along with a Raceface Aeffect 32t crank. The Aeffect used the 24mm spindle which means I can use the Hope BB already fitted. It will...

Re: Re: It's funny how the skinwalls have such a 'Marmite' taste for so many people, I must admit I do love 'em and have skinwalls on all my others. I remember seeing yours DynaCol when doing some research, looks an awesome bike! Cheers for the head's up on the Canis. I might try a Ibex on...

Re: Build 3....Yeti ASR-SL! Thanks guy's! Ha, don't worry! I can feel a poll coming on between the skinwall Canis and some black cross marks I have. The saddle's not staying, I stole it from my single speed to build it up. I'm not sure my backside could cope with it off road! Cranks arrived...

Re: Build 3....Yeti ASR-SL! Cheers, that means a lot! :D :D :D Praise indeed! Crank has just been ordered and now waying up what gears to run. Looks like I'll go full XT M8000 but debating dropping in an XTR mech. Hopefully finished this month!

Re: Build 3....Yeti ASR-SL! Cheers Dicko10! Apologies for the lack of updates, to busy working and planning a wedding to get to the computer with the latest. However, the build in the meantime has been coming along well. Following my initial plan there have been a few changes but hopefully for...

Re: Ritchey Plexus Great frame and looks a great build. Signed up for this one!
